“All these stipulations, I'm surprised [David Haye ] didn't ask me to carry him to that seat. The demands are unbelievable, my demands were let me pick my own gloves.”
“My early films were about self discovery, and films of internal conflict. At that level, they were very personal.”
“The self...can split off from itself without being less. You are not a mini self, an adjunct to some super-being, never to share fully in its reality... you are that superself looking out through only one eye, or using just one finger.”
“There are too many people writing about whether they just farted or not.”
“Live your life as a revolution and not just a process of evolution. I realized today that if I stay on a path of gradual evolution into the man I ultimately want to become, I am going to run out of time before I reach the goal.”
“The problem with breaking up with someone, if you are a little unsure â€” and so often, people are unsure â€” is that breaking up involves persuasion. You have to persuade your ex that it is better this way for everyone. And this is difficult if you have not entirely persuaded yourself. It is especially tricky to do this if you are also naked, and making two cups of coffee.”

“Time shakes the stable tyranny of thrones, And tottering empires rush by their own weight.”
“Skepticism relieved two terrible diseases that afflicted mankind: anxiety and dogmatism.”
